A3PE3000-2FG324I

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The A3PE3000-2FG324I is a Field Programmable Gate Array from the ProASIC3 family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 75,264 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and an equivalent gate count of 3,000,000 gates. The device supports a maximum operating frequency of 310 MHz and provides 221 I/O terminals. It operates within a voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V and functions reliably between -40 °C and +85 °C. The component is housed in a 324-pin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package with dimensions of 19 mm x 19 mm.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Non-volatile flash-based FPGA architecture for instant-on operation without external configuration memory
• High-density logic fabric supporting complex digital signal processing and control applications
• Supports mixed-voltage I/O standards including LVCMOS, LVTTL, and LVDS capabilities

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial automation and control systems requiring deterministic timing
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '2' indicates the speed grade corresponding to the 310 MHz maximum frequency. Confirm RoHS compliance status as documentation may vary by production batch. Ensure the FBGA-324 package footprint matches the target PCB design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-density non-volatile FPGA solution is required with a balance of performance and power efficiency. Compare against the A3PE3000-1 variant if higher clock speeds are necessary, or consider the M1A3PE3000 series if integrated ARM Cortex-M1 processor capabilities are needed for hybrid processing tasks.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Microchip ProASIC3 low-power FPGA family, which succeeded the Actel ProASIC3 line following Microchip's acquisition. The A3PE3000 variant represents a mid-to-high density option within the series, designed to replace SRAM-based FPGAs in applications where code security and reduced system complexity are priorities.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include the A3PE3000-1FG324I for lower speed requirements or the A3PE3000-2PQG208I if a PQFP package is acceptable. Verify that any substitute maintains the same non-volatile flash technology to preserve instant-on functionality.
